The scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton are the surface tremors of a far greater disturbance. To many, Hillary embodies a stern but kind, hard-working, wronged wife and mother. To others she is a consummately corrupt politician who has used her image and connections to reach the very top of American politics. Hillary’s underlying character must be understood if we are to gauge the veracity of the scandals and allegations that haunt her.

To that end, this article will explore the findings of Wikileaks, her voting record, her presidential campaign ads, the sordid history of donations to her election campaigns, her connections to the health insurance industry and Zionism, the Benghazi scandal, and her secretive email practices. As a European observer who has more in common with the Democrats, it's hoped that this largely condemnatory article will be an objective investigation of the real Hillary Clinton.

The Hillary Wikileaks Scandal

In November 2010 Wikileaks revealed that the US State Department had recently issued a confidential cable ordering US diplomats to spy on UN officials. The order to gather fingerprints, iris scans, DNA, credit card details and computer passwords was far beyond previous spying efforts, and contravened the human rights of UN officials.

As the Secretary of State at the time, Hillary Clinton denied having issued the order, despite her name being present at the bottom of the cable. A spokesperson for the State Department claimed it is standard procedure to affix the name of the Secretary of State to cables from Washington. While this may be true, it is bewildering how Hillary could not be privy to information sent out under her name, especially a cable ordering diplomats to break international law. It is difficult to believe she was out of the loop. In many other countries she would have been forced to resign to remove any doubt about her corruption. In America she was allowed to continue in office, which was no surprise considering the power she holds.

Hillary on Iraq

As a public figure, there are a wealth of videos detailing controversial statements made by Hillary Clinton. Here is a clip of her lying to the Senate about the Iraq War. It has been shown that Saddam Hussein had no links to Al Qaeda; rather that he was hostile to Al Qaeda activity in his country. It has also been shown that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Hillary could once again claim ignorance by saying she genuinely believed Saddam was a threat, but with over 50,000 combatants and 100,000 civilians dead, can her reckless warmongering be forgiven? If you look at false evidence with a goal of proving it true, can you really claim you were convinced by it?

Hillary on Iran

Hillary further aligned herself with the foreign policy of the previous Bush administration with her comments about Iran. With no proof of Iran wanting a nuclear weapon, Hillary has consistently implied the opposite by stating that Iran should not be allowed to possess one. Iranian enrichment activities have not exceeded the limits granted by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty for the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

In 2007, Hillary voted to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a “terrorist organisation”, and to use the military to enforce US policy against Iran. This blatant attempt to open the door to war saw her receive extensive criticism from fellow Democrats. In late 2007 when it was revealed that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons research in 2003, Hillary’s comments about “stopping Iran getting a nuclear weapon” were further called into question. Nevertheless, in 2008, Hillary threatened Iran with nuclear obliteration should they ever launch a nuclear attack against Israel, prompting complaints about her conduct at the UN.

Hillary has threatened military action against Iran on numerous occasions, and in 2012 she engaged in further sabre rattling by claiming the time for peaceful resolution will come to an end. Hillary’s comments about Iran often specifically refer to the security and safety of Israel, fuelling speculation about which government she really reports to.

Hillary and Zionism

Hillary’s unusual antagonism towards Iran combined with her loyalty to Israel suggest a Zionist influence. Zionism is a political position commonly held by Jews, which seeks to ensure the continued existence of a Jewish-only national state. This discriminatory position is typically held by supporters of Israel, and is especially prevalent in American politics. Israeli Zionists tend to defend Israel’s borders with disproportionate force, and are not beyond claiming extra territory in violation of UN resolutions. Evidence of Zionist influence over Hillary Clinton is circumstantial, but extensive. The linked video provides some of this evidence.

In 2008, Jewish representatives of the three major presidential candidates held a debate. Hillary Clinton’s representative, Ann Lewis, who is also a former White House official, stood up in all seriousness to say: ”The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel. It is not up to us to pick and choose from among the political parties of Israel”. Frankly, comments like this are shocking, but they’re being made as if it’s the norm. If Hillary's representative thinks this is the role of American politicians, what does this say about the real Hillary Clinton?

In 2010, Hillary Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, married into the Jewish-Zionist Mezvinsky family. Her husband Marc Mezvinsky is an investment banker for Goldman Sachs and is the son of former corrupt politician Edward Mezvinsky, who spent five years in federal prison for fraud. One must wonder how the happy couple met.

Millions can't afford health insurance. | Source

Hillary Health Care

Once the champion of socialized health-care, in 2006 Hillary became the second most highly paid recipient of campaign donations from health insurance companies, drug manufacturers and hospitals. These donations have coincided with a moderation of her previous socialist position. She now wants universal health care, but only as mandatory coverage provided by the health insurance industry; a position that will undoubtedly be very profitable for companies in this sector.

Hillary's Presidential Campaign Ads

During her 2008 campaign to become the Democrat presidential nominee, Hillary used fear tactics in a desperate move to entice the populace to vote for her. One of her ads included pictures of Osama Bin Laden, Hurricane Katrina, soldiers marching, and other fear-provoking imagery. Another ad preyed on concern for the safety of our children. These despicable ads are designed to scare people into voting for her, and they amplify aforementioned concerns about her moral integrity. Hillary’s questionable character came to the surface again in 2012 with her reaction to the death of Muammer Gaddafi. Her statement makes light of his death and can only be described as gleefully heartless. The three videos may be viewed in this article (right).

Other Hillary Clinton Scandals

Beyond this discussion are the scandals that have affected her political career. Indeed, Hillary Clinton is the only First Lady to become a focus of criminal investigation. One of these scandals is Clinton's 2008 hiring of Sandy Berger as an advisor. Berger had been convicted in 2005 for the theft of secret documents from the National Archives.

Then there are the allegations that Hillary falsified statements to the Federal Election Commission about a large donation to her 2000 Senate campaign. Peter Paul made a donation that was significantly larger than the amount claimed in her statement, meaning that a large sum of money may have gone illegally into her campaign coffers. This criminal misconduct carries a possible five year prison term. Despite the campaign being fined for misreporting the cost of the fundraiser that was organised with the money Peter Paul donated, repeated law-suits against Clinton have been rejected in the courts.

In 2009 it was found that Hillary Clinton intervened on behalf of companies who later donated money to her husband's foundation. Not surprisingly, some of these companies are involved in the pharmaceutical industry. These findings raise serious ethical concerns, and when considered alongside the aforementioned analysis of her character, one would have expected a proper investigation instead of the stern lecture she received from a panel of fellow politicians. Indeed, one has to wonder how many corruption scandals it will take before the pieces are put together.

Hillary Denies Seeing Warning

Hillary Evades Questions

Hillary Benghazi Scandal

In 2013 Hillary Clinton found herself embroiled in yet another scandal. This time it was her use of propaganda to mislead the public about the circumstances of the Benghazi terrorist attack on the American embassy in Libya. Ambassador Stevens and 3 other Americans died in the tragedy.

Hillary was initially quizzed about warnings from the ambassador and the CIA about potential hostility. These warnings were produced less than a month before the attacks, and were sent to Hillary's office. Incredibly, she denied any knowledge of the warnings (video). Furthermore, the warnings were not reported after the incident, which appeared to be an attempt to withhold information that could damage Hillary's reputation, and that of the Obama administration.

Recently, documents have emerged to prove that Hillary's aide, Victoria Nuland, ordered the removal of all mentions of terrorism, al-Qaeda, and CIA warnings from government reports about the attack. Instead, the State Department pushed the story that it was a spontaneous assault resulting from protests about an anti-Muslim video. It is inconceivable to think that Hillary did not know about the actions of Victoria Nuland. This brings her testimony to Congress into question (video), and should result in her prosecution.

However, as with the aforementioned scandals, you can expect Hillary to remain in her position of power after the dust has settled. While others would be forced to abandon their political ambitions, she is simply too powerful for this to happen.

Hillary used a private account to hide emails from the American people. | Source

Hiding Emails From Scrutiny

It appears there's no end to scandals involving Hillary Clinton. In 2015, it's been revealed that she used a private email account to conduct State Department business. To avoid abuse and corruption, the Federal Records Act requires that all State Department officials use their government-assigned email address to correspond with colleagues and contacts. This allows records to be kept that can be used in any subsequent investigations.

Though the Federal Records Act was amended for electronic communications in 2014, the original 1950 Act may still cover her transgression. Furthermore, the 2014 amendment merely codified a preexisting ban on the use of private email addresses for government business, unless such emails are forwarded to a government-assigned account within 20 days.

We can only speculate about why Hillary breached this rule, but one reason would be to hide information that is pertinent to her role in the Benghazi scandal. Another reason would be to hide information relevant to her hiring of private consultants for global corporations into the State Department. Investigators have now been furnished with many of her private emails. Unfortunately, she's probably had ample time to delete any that incriminate her.

Summary

Hillary Clinton is a powerful American politician who would probably have never reached that position without the contacts she established during her time as First Lady. One has to ask how many deals were made to get her into power, and how many scandals it will take before that power is taken away.

The list of Hillary Clinton scandals is becoming extensive, and her 2008 presidential campaign ads reflected this absence of moral integrity. The U-turns evident in Hillary’s health care policy coincide with an increase in donations from the health insurance industry. Evidence of her championing the business interests of pharmaceutical companies in return for donations rouses further suspicion. Her affiliation with prominent Zionists, and her loyal support of Zionist policy suggests further corruption. The Benghazi scandal and her secretive email practices will surely not be the last entries on a long list of questionable behavior.

The real Hillary Clinton may be found by joining the dots. In doing so, we discover a politician whose character lacks any semblance of principled integrity; a heartless liar and propagandist who appears to be as corrupt as they come.

Thomas....For the past year, I have been casually dating an FBI agent who is nearing retirement. He's slowly working on a "book" which he intends to really get into after he finally does retire. He has requested I provide some help in terms of structure and some editing. I'm honored and quite excited about the prospect.

He was stationed in D.C for several years....(the Clinton years) What he has shared with me .....well, lets' just say, I'm not about to print it here. I will simply say......................

Hillary was and IS so intensely hated by just about everyone from any agency that ever worked for, with and/or around this horrendous woman. She is regarded as more dirty than some of our Country's worst criminals. As for poor ole Bill....he seems to have garnered the sympathy of most people due to having to deal with Hillary's vicious & violent outbursts. (She did a lot of screaming and throwing items at walls and human beings, as well.) Great temperament for someone hoping to be POTUS, eh??

I couldn't help but ask him about John Podesta's email to someone stating that Hillary "smelled like farts urine and cabbage.".....(OMG, wouldn't you just cringe to death were someone to say such a thing about you!!? LOL ) The response was Hillary is quite slovenly about herself.....has very poor hygiene and very often, due to being drunk as hell, would fall asleep in her clothes and simply get up and go about her day in those very same clothes!

In short, she's even more disgusting & devious than people think she is......

Vivian....."Lock her up" is actually rather kind compared to what most people want done to this witch....including yours truly......yet another thing I'll not print here! What an authentic POS she is...and always was.

I found this article (and very interesting I might add) while researching for a timeline of 2010 (http://www.onthisday.com/events/date/2010). I'm specifically looking for events that occurred prior to, and after Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Events that seem worthy of deletion, if you catch my drift. Your article seems to be geared toward the same ideals that I share, but just not deep enough. If you scan through that link (above), you'll notice that there are some very interesting occurrences that may fall under the category of "events worthy of deletion", as in...33K docs that have been deleted.

Thomas, I know someone who is an NCIS agent. All agents learned how to spot liars by, among other things, learned how a liar acts by watching tapes of Bill Clinton. And of course, you already know about Hilary. What I am getting at----is that she was not shown tapes of the Bush's. Long story short, I do not believe it is fair to equate Jeb with GW. In my opinion, Jeb is a good man. Unlike Hilary, his record is good.

Hillary Rodham Clinton! Funny how the phrase "It's all in the name" is really true!

The correct spelling of Hillary Rodham Clinton's name:

Hiliary Fraud-sham Clinton

Just “spelling it like it is!”

Liar - a person who tells lies

Fraud - a person who pretends to be what he or she is not in order to trick people

Sham - something that is not what it appears to be and that is meant to trick or deceive people: someone who deceives people by pretending to be a particular kind of person, to have a particular skill, etc. : words or actions that are not sincere or honest

Clinton – (many urban definitions) I like this one: to distort the semantics of a situation for desired result. (I won’t mention the others)

The latest demonstration of this truth was in the Democrat Debate last night.

I've noticed that too Carolyn. For some, I think it's more of a tribal thing. They just don't want anything bad said about a Democrat and, if something bad is said, they'll leap to their defense and call it a Republican plot. Lots of bad things have been said about Hillary, so their repeated defenses have made her especially liked. Furthermore, media coverage has turned Hillary into a kind of poster-girl for the Democrats, such that bringing her down would bring down the entire party. But, then there's those soccer-mom types who care not about the issues and just love the fact that she's a woman. They're especially sympathetic to the fact that she was cheated on, and appear to believe she can do no wrong because of it.

I am convinced that there are some people out there who would vote for her regardless of what she does. She could come out on stage, admit to killing someone (I'm not saying she did - just saying IF she were to admit to murder), and people would STILL vote for her. They would have all sorts of reasons why it wasn't a problem. Or that she was justified in doing so, on so on. That's the strength of her support by some. I find it amazing. The only thing that might keep her from becoming the democratic nominee is if she actually gets arrested and put in jail. Even then . . . who knows? They might vote for her, hoping she'd be out in time to serve.

Politics has gotten away from us. It's too big and corrupt. Even with all these scandals, it seems Hillary will slide into the Democratic nomination because she has paid her dues to the party. I can't even get my local representative to respond to my letters regarding an issue in education so I doubt I'll have any influence in a national campaign.

I realize that the list is just to extensive to list every corrupt/ immoral/ illegal thing the clintons have done. I don't believe she stayed with bill out of love. It was a way to keep her power driven lifestyle. As far as people voting for her in 2016 it will be partly because the news media outlets don't report on the negative things these politicians do unless another politician can benefit from it and it gets leaked out that way. Where I live in NYS 3 of the 4 major stations don't report on really anything that is political news. Just about local shooting and local accidents. I don't even watch the regular news anymore but for many people this is the news and they don't want to believe the truth isn't reported anymore but rather a script is rehearsed and proofed before it is allowed to be read on the news.

You make a good point Bill. I've noticed the American media has a nasty case of amnesia when it comes to things that might damage the integrity of cherished politicians or points of view. They'll report a scandal, and forget the previous five; just like they'll report on why we should go to war with a country or group, while forgetting that we used to support them, or that the CIA put them in place. History truly is doomed to repeat itself when amnesia rules the airwaves. Then again, I think some people are happy for that to happen.

Excellent piece.

Her popularity in the face of all these scandals continues to mystify me. As something of a student of the pathology of both Hil and Bill dating back to the Rose Law Firm issues, I think what saved Bill and continues to save her is that "connecting the dots" as you put it can be a confusing and complicated endeavor. Understanding the depths and seriousness of her misdeeds takes work, and when the media helps by leaving the stones unturned it is that much more difficult.

Awesome video Mark! You know if this video was about a Republican, any Republican, it would be a documentary show rerun over and over on the mainstream media networks. On second thought actually the media wouldn't have let a Republican ever get past the first scandal.

Thomas, I'm not surprised you never heard of the Watergate Hiliary episode because the media ignored it. All anyone has to do is Google Hillary and Watergate for her Democrat boss's (Zeifman) assessment of her as a liar and unethical lawyer during the Watergate investigation. Reports initially claimed he fired her for that behavior but later in an interview he revealed he let her go with others who were no longer needed but regrets not reporting her to the law board.

Thank you tsadjatko. I deleted the comment because most of it had been written word for word somewhere else, but thank you for the information.

Hillary's #GrandmothersKnowBest hashtag is interesting and fits with what I've written here. It's become quite clear that Hillary sees the American people as fools to be manipulated and controlled with superficial platitudes and propaganda. There are other politicians who go to similar lengths, and they are no less detestable.

The information about her unethical actions during the Watergate investigation is new to me. Though not surprising, it fits with the idea of a power-hungry politician who sees laws, regulations, and ethics as a hindrance rather than a help.

Agreeing or not, comes at the end of a process which follows from the argument presented being first critically questioned and analytically examined. After that comes the question how to best advance the issues I greatly agree with!

Cheers, I'll take a look. I'm wary of listening to any news show. The one's I don't agree with are trying to manipulate me; and the one's I do agree with are telling me what I want to hear! :)

Thanks f_hruz. I'm open to ideas, but I think many have tried and failed to dislodge the status quo.

On all sides of the debate, there is widespread disagreement. This allows the arguments of political leaders to gain traction because they have the advantage of the popular media. The alternate media is growing on the internet, which is why governments want more control over it. As more and more people move from their TV screens to the web, the governments will get ever more desperate. The best thing we can do is keep the internet free. Nevertheless, some firms have too big a grip on the internet, and for some reason use this advantage to put out their own news. I wonder what their motives are.

The alternate media may be able to shine more light on the question of how to motivate more people to discover their innate capacity to become a forceful agent of change instead of keep on playing the roll of passive consumer of mind numbing propaganda from above.

Maybe some focus could be placed on being a social change catalyst here at hub pages?

Thanks f_hruz.

Yes, the system has to change. When political success is driven by wealth and private interests, democracy becomes a trophy word that is bandied around in propaganda, and clung to by those in need of reassurance about the world they live in.

The Zionists hide behind their associated faith, calling racism when they are criticized, when their ideology is as alien to Judaism as it is to the teachings of Gandhi.

It is a bleak world we live in.

Very good work! She almost could have had Obama's job, so you can see, it's mainly about raising the right amount of cash for the job you want!

They have to suck up to the Zionists to get the money from places like AIPAC so they can vote to continue supporting a racist Israel dictating US foreign policy in the Middle East ... and the official media keeps the average Joe ignorant about the fact that the Jewish lobby is running the show, no matter who these jobs at the top go to ...

Time for some active minds to plan the public take over of the official media!

Thanks for the comment jantamaya! I think some academics would like to become politicians. As you can tell, I have an avid interest in politics despite holding a doctorate in an academic discipline. Like myself, many academics are transitory individuals, bouncing from one thing to the next, and I'm sure many could be encouraged to become politicians. However, the political establishment wouldn't want this. There are special schools and special degrees that are set up to churn out these politicians, and a good politician from another discipline would cheapen this entire self-supporting process.

I looked at the Whitewater affair while writing this. I decided against including it for a few reasons, 1. It was both Bill and Hillary. 2. There was little evidence in my opinion. 3. The article was getting long already! It could have gone in though.

Replacing politicians with academics would be a good idea, but I don't know many scientists or academics who want to be politicians...

Thanks for writing about Hillary. I loved to read it. What about the Whitewater affair? Was it somewhat solved? I don't remember.

Thanks for the comment Euroninila. I wish people took action too. It seems political scandals are only known to the people when they get leaked to the media. Its difficult to know how much goes unreported. When the media reports, one network will say sack him/her, the other will say they deserve a slap on the wrist. Both networks spin the story accordingly, and the people don't know what to believe anymore. The first things we need are transparency in politics, and an unbiased media.

If only people took action against politicians and their curruption then this wouldn't be the way it is, but it is the way it is...or so that's how everyone thinks, right? Well anyway, we Americans are too busy working to try to survive while politicians are able to raise 1 million $$$$ in 1 MONTH to run for office, JUST TO RUN for office. How about throwing some of that money this way!

Great article! Very interesting, I didn't know much about Hillary Clinton.

Thanks for the comment. Who is not corrupt? - Not very many! Hillary Clinton is someone I've researched though. What initially struck me was her use of fear imagery in her ads. I despise propaganda, especially this variety. Then I learnt about her health policy U-turns, her Iraq votes, her links to Zionism, and when Wikileaks came out, lets say I wasn't surprised!

Most of the political class is corrupt. Our best bet is to chuck them all out on their asses, and replace them with academics and ordinary people seeking a new direction in their lives. Like any other job, they should be assessed for their qualifications (degrees, work experience, references) and their character; not how much money they have to spend on propaganda campaigns.
